About $50 yesterday morning people re-
siding on Ninth street, between n and Nj,
heard a man crying for help, and after the

and those who heard him concluded it was
a case of robbery, and that before they
could get up and dress and run out the vic
tim would have been thoroughly robbed or
murdered, and therefore it was not worth
while to get out of bed. As there were no
CORY remains found in the morning by the
Coroner, it is safe to assume that the utterer
of the yelis was only robbed, or gently
kicked for not having something to be
robbed Of.
